The discussion has evolved! Into the fact of why you think crossbows x3 is exploiting, i asked was it against the rules, but you seem to have a pretty secluded view on things, so explain in length by doing a joker post!
here you go sir
I for one don't see it as exploiting nonrestrictive (fixed that for you) game mechanics. This is entirely your opinion and it carries as much weight as anyone else's.
Exactly, noone here can tell the real intention of the game, including me and propably not even the makers; a point i have to admit ... the real intention of the game, if there is any, is somewhere between the realms of the intention of the maker and the intention of the players , since its aswell their game as it is the game of the maker.
Anyhow , a propper judgement for a situation like this cant bypass the censureship of game fairness, as where the main purpose of a game is to ensure a ballanced state between possible playstyles ( aka player intentions supported by the game mechanics ) and fun factor for all players. If now one player feels that some playstyle of some other guy breaks the rule of game fairness he has the possibility and the right to report or poll against this players ingame behavior ; Eventhough, starting a poll was a rather drastic measure BUT legal (he should rather have reported, talked to the guy or discussed in forum).
The rest of the players now voted that Haradraa's poll was rectified and kicked the player as a result of an mutual agreement. This also implies that the players playstyle was exploitive and breaking the playerships opinion of game fairness in that certain situation.
Another word on Johane's behavior, who had played with seemingly proper intention. For him it was just a unlucky coincidence that he unknowingly used a playstyle which was decided as unpropper by the rest of players in that situation. He also did nothing really wrong, and players should be really carefull about using polls.
btw: iam aware that this is only my own opinion and i accept others without mentioning that after each sentence
